UA, you guys killed it with these last two updates. All of the new features were implemented perfectly, with a curated style of forward thinking applied. Can't wait for ARA2 support which is so essential in any modern DAW today. EXCELLENT.
now we are cooking! thank you Universal Audio for listening to us. The only thing that we are really missing is ARA support but i know thats down the line. If we can just get a cpu meter that tells us the processing of each plug in we should be straight
Thanks for the update! Would love to see you guys add mono to stereo plugins like in protools! I find it tedious having to create a stereo track and dragging my mono track onto it if I want to add stereo plugins on to it
A great update. I hope Luna's development will be towards features for beat makers, and producers, like chord track, a great sampler, creating macros among many others.
It's legit, Forest! Just today - I had a 5 hour fiddle tracking session at my home studio with a session player, individual cues, realtime - literally couldn't have done a session like this without Apollo & LUNA. It just was hyper efficient.
There's a great variety of bounce possibilities.What i'd like to see next,would be "Video Track",allowing video scoring.You're doing great.Thank you guys !
many people prefer to dock browser at the right side of the screen (it's more natural feeling for a right-handed person + main window is not jumping every time u need to change something - it's all about good UX)
They were not joking about the feedback menu in Luna! THEY ARE LISTENING! Let’s go!!! Now if we can get built in pitch correction or buy it as an extension. I will definitely use this DAW full time.
Yes! They really do care about that feedback menu thing. I can’t overstate it enough. Pitch correction is a cool idea! There’s a bunch of of great ones out there already, melodyne etc. What would you like to see out of this kind of pitch correction that makes it unique to the others that are there already? JW Cheers!
@ Yeah I use Melodyne, Cubase Vari Audio, Crispytune, Reason Studios potch correction. I just want to stay in Luna. Sometimes adding Melodyne or Crispy, or Wavestune can get taxing when you have a lot of vocal and instrument tracks to edit.
@ Maybe something close to Cubase’s Vari Audio and Reason Studios. The formats are smooth. The ability to double click on the audio or have a quick menu to go directly to the pitch editor. Then move the audio across the piano roll.
@Mheyos You may want to rethink your understanding of DAWs and other user's needs. It's not about you. Pro Tools allows you to add a max 10 plugins in the inserts and Ableton is limitless. Maybe not everything has to do with the basics.
@@MheyosYeah, I’ve noticed I average using 1 to 5 inserts per channel. And maybe 1 or 2 of those inserts will remain bypassed on those channels when I don't need them. Yep, ✅ 8 inserts are enough.
The only DAW that really works like a real hardware recording process. A bit unstable in PC enviroment yet though, but It's getting better all the time. Finally, and most important - I really enjoy it and get more creative while using it. Thanks UAD!
Great improvements with the latest update, particularly the added bounce feature! I also like the comprehensive preset management. My biggest personal request after all of this greatness would be to have the ability to rename or create additional plugin categories. I have no need for a dedicated category for pitch correction, and special processing is a bit ambiguous. I'd like to be able to create some task specific category names like "for drums", "for vocals", "monitor utilities", "parallel processing", etc.
I’m FINALLY able to put Luna to some serious work. I can’t live without the bounce in place feature. Now i could really use a built in “vari-fi” feature for editing the ends of wave files!
Agreed!! I’m also a huge fan of Vari-Fi in Pro Tools, buuuuut I’ve been using plugins in Luna like “Tape Stop” from KiloHearts and “Cassette Transport” from Wavesfactory. Both are free, and easily automated on any track or bus. This is the update I’ve been waiting for! 🙂 Thanks UA.
Great update! Next ....ARA2 ,Folder track's ,video track and pre record on an armed channel even if you haven't pressed record ,biger UI on EXTE . hopefully not in a year from now...
Nice updates. Feature request (if you don't already have it): My main DAW right now is Logic Pro mainly because they have a "Capture Recording" button that is always listening in the background so if you are just jamming and playing midi ideas (without hitting record) and decide a part you've played is worth keeping, it will still "Capture" those ideas so they're not lost. I think Pro Tools, Studio One and Ableton all have a similar option. Does UAD Luna have this feature? If not, can it please be added? Thank you!
•🔟 plugin inserts in the next version please! 🙏 •ability to make an “audio track” take input from a “bus”, for printing! •also ability to create multiple “Master Tracks” & to set any output to a Master track! •lastly ARA 2 support for izotope RX 11, Autotune Pro 11. I already put all of them in the luna feature requests quite some time ago! Thank you for considering
I print in Luna with the Virtual 1-2 for my print track input which is then my bus outputs. There's a way to print with a bus . I did it but didn't sound right. The way I do it sounds exactly the way it sounded in my mix.
@TheSteveKinney this takes Luna from fantastic to outstanding 🥰 I work with a lot of legends and do A LOT of work every year so being able to work fast is crucial...after decades of writing and programming in Logic it has remained my work DAW and then I move it over to Luna for mixing. But my goal has always been to only stay in Luna...2025 seems like that year...but I have one small thing that has stopped me so far and it is when I program all plugin instruments and build the track...in Logic I just drag and mark the bars I want to work on and set the quantize to the best resolution and it stays....in Luna the marker for bars won't stay if I click outside plus I have trouble setting one quantize setting for all....is there a simple solution I just haven't found?
Great update, but I would like to know, for example, how to route a MIDI track to an audio channel and record the audio channel. Without having to bounce each MIDI channel to be able to have the audio file, just playing and recording at the same time.
Very good software. but I won't use it until you fix the side channel. for example, if I want to connect a kick to bass, hi-hats, piano and vocals, how do I do it?
Hey Steve, question, is there anyway to go back to a version of my mix that I have in my list of versions on my Print Track? But it's a print track I just made before the update. I'm not sure I even installed the update yet. I have a certain mix that just shines above the rest and I just have a couple small volume automations I want to adjust. From then on because of this happening I make a new version in the top header not just on my homemade print track. This way I can recall it without an issue. I know the date an exact time I printed it if that helps me locate it ? I know you're busy . If u get a second lmk please. Hope the new gig is working out for you , you deserve it.
i love luna its a very good DAW now for me BUT with new M4PRO always a repair plugin error and when switching sample rate!! hope UA will fix it in a future
Lets go! .. whenever you do give it a try, I genuinely think you will enjoy working in it. That said, be sure to share some feedback. It's highly valued, appreciate ya!
Very awesome update! Now I just wish the zooming had an option to make it more like Logic Pro. I use my trackpad and just zoom in to where I want to go using that, vertically and horizontally. I don't mess with hot keys or anything else ever just the alt modifier and my trackpad, because when I hold alt and scroll left to right and up and down on my trackpad it zooms with me, it feels like an extension of myself and is so intuitive. also can you please fix the fact that when you zoom in horizontally that it doesn't do it from the top. if I am at the bottom of my tracks, I have to zoom a little bit, then go back down and repeat this process until im where I need to be. it is so tedious and I don't get why ti would do this. the window should 100% stay where your cursor is.basically every track should get bigger or smaller from the top and bottom of itself. not only where the top stays put and the bottom grows.
Please work on the midi editing features...id love to mix and record in Luna but producing,beat making is a pain compare to other daw like logic and ableton with great midi functionality Also where is "group FOLDER" a must have for professional organized session IMO... Also what would be super cool is a snapshot of the volume balance like a comping version but a versions for different volume fader balance...no DAW has done this yet so itd be cool feature.
I have & do produce in luna. I work with a lot of session studios in town here in Nashville, which - by nature - run pro-tools systems. I end up migrating the sessions out of PT once everything is done and import and work in luna from there. Typically - I have to do a lot of vocal overdubs and individual track overdubs, like fiddle, steel, acoustic guitar, electric etc.. LUNA & apollo makes it super efficient for me to work on and finish my projects.
There has been some really cool updates. Multi-out is in it now too.. you should give it a go & share some feedback in the feedback menu. Appreciate ya! cheers!
You people will say thank u to anything. This is the weakest update ever in any daw. You mean to tell me it took 3 to 4 years to get these 2 little updates.. you'll really dont care about what your customers wants are needs. Work on the Piano Roll PLEASE its pretty bad we cant do the basics things everyone needs..
I'm sure there are plenty of people who have not experienced this. I use Luna on a mac mini m2 pro with plugins from Arturia, UA, Plugin Alliance, Waves, IK, Klevgrand, PSP, Softube, SSL, and Toontrack. I feel those are pretty compliant plugins devs? I use Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton and can only get Luna to run if I empty the component directory. Any insight appreciated
UA, you guys killed it with these last two updates. All of the new features were implemented perfectly, with a curated style of forward thinking applied. Can't wait for ARA2 support which is so essential in any modern DAW today. EXCELLENT.
Bring on ARA2
Here for ARA2 and custom shortcuts!
💯
Bounce features means I could finally make Luna my true DAW for mixing… Great updates!
Let's go! Cheers Jerome!
We all want MIDI editing updates but man...I think the LUNA V2 it's gonna be huge.
Literally did a feature request for this yesterday!
now we are cooking! thank you Universal Audio for listening to us. The only thing that we are really missing is ARA support but i know thats down the line. If we can just get a cpu meter that tells us the processing of each plug in we should be straight
Yes, ARA2 support for Sound Radix, Synchro Arts and Melodyne. Then after hardware support.
The bounce feature is a game-changer for my hungry VSTs. Thanks for making music easier, UA!
Thanks for the update!
Would love to see you guys add mono to stereo plugins like in protools!
I find it tedious having to create a stereo track and dragging my mono track onto it if I want to add stereo plugins on to it
I agree. Very frustrating at times that you can't add a mono to stereo plugin. LUNA still rules.
Thank you Universal Audio! Keep improving the most exciting new DAW! Great update!
Steve, once again you present features and all things audio in a clear and concise manner. Many thanks.
Thanks for the kind words, Cheers mate! I do what I can!
Great update! Track Presets is a welcome addition! Now, decent comping and versions is hopefully next!
Nice! Only multi side chain, and I’m back to luna ❤
Luna is getting closer and closer.
Hardware inserts finally please !!!
A great update. I hope Luna's development will be towards features for beat makers, and producers, like chord track, a great sampler, creating macros among many others.
Just produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered in this version of LUNA and the bounce in place feature came in clutch!! Thanks UA!!
Very handy features, now I start to use more LUNA,,Thanks for the great work.
Thanks for the info, I really do hope that ARA for melodyne comes soon. Oh yes and VST 3 please.
LUNA is amazing! Thanks for the video.
It's legit, Forest! Just today - I had a 5 hour fiddle tracking session at my home studio with a session player, individual cues, realtime - literally couldn't have done a session like this without Apollo & LUNA. It just was hyper efficient.

@@JerMarMusicGroup ahhhh! Great point!
Great update!! Next we need to be able to change keyboard shortcuts, it would make my migration from other daw easier...
A future update that enables you to add more than 8 plugins in your chain. At most 10 would be great.
If you need 10 plugins in a track, you should consider to revisit the basics of recording 😅
@Mheyos You may want to rethink your understanding of DAWs and other user's needs. It's not about you. Pro Tools allows you to add a max 10 plugins in the inserts and Ableton is limitless. Maybe not everything has to do with the basics.

@@therearenoruleshere Again, that speaks to your needs but I much like other users would prefer that flexibility
@@CaldoHits I used to think like that… this “flexibility” thing… but then I mastered the basics ☺️
Amazing update!!!
Very nice! Wonderful DAW, but I'm still on hold, waiting on hardware inserts - those would enable a true hybrid workflow
Feedback menu button in LUNA. Can't overstate it enough. Appreciate this perspective! Cheers!
This update is 🔥🔥🔥 And great video, Steve! Keep up the good work! 👊
Thanks for the kind words, Cheers David!
Cool update! Keep ‘em coming 🙏
wow this changes everything!! can't wait for hardware inserts!!!!
Thank you. I appreciate your work! ❤

Looks great! I think Luna is the daw that get more updates
awesome update !
It will be amazing if luna had Multi side chain
Finally, bounce in place and track presets!
Let’s goooo
Awesome. Now only Ara support and an io plugin of some sort and it’s pretty much perfect.
Great stuff! I'm tempted to get Luna Pro since it's on sale now!
We need stereo plugins option in mono tracks. For example with Doubler plugin
This is great. Custom shortcuts, clip fx and ARA2 support please. Thank you.
I’m FINALLY able to put Luna to some serious work. I can’t live without the bounce in place feature. Now i could really use a built in “vari-fi” feature for editing the ends of wave files!

Very cool updates. Thank you Uad team
Do we get VCA's with this Update?
melodyne i installed on windows there is no place to zoom in can you help me
please disable the f* auto save function and warp clips function by default !!!!
Still no External I/O plugin for better external hardware in and out.. still a pain to used external hardware in LUNA.
Smash the feedback button in LUNA, can't overstate how important that is.
Great update! Next ....ARA2 ,Folder track's ,video track and pre record on an armed channel even if you haven't pressed record ,biger UI on EXTE .

32 Bit Floating point recording is the only reason why I'm not fully using LUNA yet. Let's make 32 Bit Recording happen ASAP team UA.
Great welcoming updates. ARA support should be next in line. Please.

I have been waiting for these features for years.... Stacked in Luna for sure. Why would I subscribe to Pro Tools for limited tracks?
What about the plugin some send me in the red I’m maxed out on buffer
Amazing guys! Continue to improve Luna! Now give the option to buy Apollo X Rack séries with out plugins…
Does Bounce allow for realtime?
🔥
Amazing!
Hardware Insert (delay compensation) WHEN? still missing in LUNA....
please add Folder Track to more organizing our project and also ARA2 would be great
i love luna
its a very good DAW now for me
BUT with new M4PRO always a repair plugin error and when switching sample rate!!
hope UA will fix it in a future
